Resin is back and we are celebrating by offering a free 75g set of ECO resin with any purchase of standard or low viscosity resin! You can find both options here, in two different sizes: 75g and a large 375g set. So if you purchase one set of resin (either type, either size) and we will throw in one free set of ECO Resin! This is not just another free sample offer, this is a full size 75g set free with any purchase of resin! This offer is open until Sunday 18th September.

ECO Resin is a new range of resins that we will be offering that are solvent-free, non-toxic and easy to use for top quality domed and cold-enamelled items.

We also sell colourants for these resins and lots of accessories for all your resin makes (do also look at our bezels which are perfect for filling!). Please note it is only the full 2-part resin sets that attract this offer, and not any colours or accessories.

We are unable to send resin overseas at this stage, so regrettably this offer is open only to UK customers.

Our resin is manufactured in the UK by RF Bright, a family owned business from Kent that specialises in resins for industry and jewellery making. The resins are lovely to use, they mix easily and take colour and inclusions well, don't produce noxious fumes and the end result comes up clear and glossy. We love these resins and are planning lots of projects using them - keep an eye out on our tutorials page!

That's right - our NEW WEBSITE is finally here! it has only been, oh, three years in the making, presented us with countless trials and tribulations, and a lot of hard work, but we finally got there, and now we can offer lots of lovely things: many more products, a much easier way to shop, we now have wishlists so you can save all your favourite items for a later date, and customer accounts where all your purchases will be saved and returns can be managed directly from one place...

We have been aware for a long time that our old website just wasn't up to the job, so we hope you will like the new site. Some improvements:

Your basket will now save for a few days, so do go ahead and make that cup of tea, your basket will still be there when you come back.

You can now buy a larger number of items individually if you really only want to try out a new piece,

but if you want to buy 10, as before, it will still be the same price as on the old website.

If you prefer to buy in larger quantities, the website will now work out a wholesale discount automatically. Our wholesale prices are available to all, and you can check them out within each item's page.

We hope you will enjoy browsing through our new site and do please let us know what you think. You can email us any comments at mail@jasminstudio.com, we fully expect that there may be the odd fluff here or there, so please let us know if you spot anything that looks amiss.

So we would like to thank you for your patience and continued custom by offering a huge 20% off EVERY ITEM in the store - simply add code CELEBRATE at checkout. This code is valid until Sunday 26th June and can be used multiple times.

Summer is upon us and we're seriously in the mood for a slowdown - we figured if we don't stop now, we will not stop until after Christmas so to save our health and to be fair to our ever-patient families we have decided to have an August that's full of rest.

You may order through the website as normal but orders will be sent only three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during August.

Our Streatham shop will be closed from the 2nd until the 10th of August (we are back on Tuesday 11th) and for the rest of August we will be in the shop only half-days from 1pm until 6pm.

If you need us during this time please email us (mail@jasminstudio.com) and we will reply as soon as we are back in the shop. Or leave us a message on 0208 0908 443 - and we will revert as soon as we can.

Last weekend our website host was bombarded with traffic from a DDoS attack on its servers which made access to our website difficult. To apologise for this blip, and to help with costs for all the Easter crafting that you have planned for the long weekend and beyond, we are offering Free Delivery on UK orders placed between now and midnight on Easter Monday.

Simply use code EASTERFREEBIE at checkout for a £2.50 discount on your total bill which is equivalent to our standard postage rate (international customers will also receive the £2.50 discount). Please note that postage upgrades are not included in this offer.

We had a ball on Monday when all sixty Year 4 pupils from Immanuel & St Andrew's CofE Primary School visited the shop to put together their wonderful handmade beads. This was a hands-on art project that formed part of their studies in Anglo-Saxon history. At school they had made some very lovely beads out of clay, which were decorated in the colours of long ago; and in the shop, they strung their beads together and learnt how to secure the ends to make a wearable piece of jewellery such as might have been worn in Anglo Saxon days. So out went the lobster clasps, and in came the hooks and rings!

We discussed the materials and design elements that Anglo-Saxons might have used in their adornments, and some groups even had a chance to try out making their own clasps out of wire. Below, a lovely necklace in progress:

Of course it helps a great deal to have your very own in-house helper for all that setting up that is needed, so a big thank you to where it is due.

For all orders placed online, the recommended last posting date for standard 1st class delivery within the UK is Friday 19th December, but if you add a Faster Post upgrade to your delivery, we can send orders up until Tuesday 23rd. Please make sure all orders are placed before 2pm. If you are close to us in South London, you can always mark your order for collection and pick it up from our shop in Streatham up until Wednesday 24th at 4 o'clock. Orders for collection will be ready the following day, so please order early.

This week has been quite something. There has been a lot of hard work involved, but the team and I seem to have taken to this shop-keeping thing. We had previously managed to convince ourselves we were happy to hide behind the walls of our website, but really we do love discussing jewellery craftiness with our customers in person. And we have been quite overwhelmed with the positive response we have had from our neighbours, new customers, and the local community here in Streatham.

I think we are going to be very happy here.

We wanted to give a little something back to those who really paved the way for us to open a shop, our lovely online customers who have been loyal to our offering since we began four years ago, so from now until November 20th, we are celebrating the opening of our shop by offering freepost on ALL orders. Just use code VISITSTREATHAM at checkout. And we hope we get to meet you, in person, soon!
